Please help the ordered pairs (0,-1),(1,0),(2,3),(3,8),(4,15) represents the function

Write an equation that represents the function. y =?
​

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1 for x = 0 {point(0, -1)} means -1 at the end of formula

If we add 1 to y-coordinate of  every given point we get the squares of x-coordinate:

(1, 0):   1² - 1 = 0

(2, 3):   2² - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

(3, 8):   3² - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8

(4, 15):   4² - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

So for any x:

(x, y)   y = x² - 1

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
